Torino director Davide Vagnati confirms they have an option to buy Nikola Vlasic outright from West Ham United, while Dennis Praet ‘desperately wanted to come, but Leicester City wouldn’t let him.’
The transfer window shut last night and the Granata did not get all the players they wanted this summer, despite revamping the squad under the guidance of coach Ivan Juric.
Simone Zaza terminated his contract by mutual consent to leave as a free agent, while Armando Izzo was loaned to Monza and Simone Verdi to Verona.
“We tried everything to get Praet back here, Dennis desperately wanted to come, but it wasn’t an issue of the transfer format or the fee, Leicester City simply wouldn’t let him go.”
Perr Schuurs was signed from Ajax, while Yann Karamoh arrived on deadline day from Parma.
“Radonjic is not ours yet, but we have an option to buy and we are going to activate it. The others on loan with an option to buy are Lazaro, Miranchuk and Vlasic.”
